S4: 110 (1206)
Apr. 20th, 2026 07:39 pmI'm starting with the creativity late, but the bug did finally bite me and I'm going to do something for a little bit. Even if it's a tiny something. It's still something!

S4: Day 109 (1205)
Apr. 19th, 2026 09:12 amI did a tiny bit of editing. Like a paragraph, but it counts! Today is family time day, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done. I'm prepared for a zero creative work day.
I'm hoping for a better, more solid week in terms of output as a whole. This week should be less stressful in the day job department. Should be. I'm feeling hopeful!

S4: Day 108 (1204)
Apr. 18th, 2026 09:01 amToday I'm going to do some solid editing along with some chores. In the evening, I'll most likely play all of the video games. All of them. I'm a bit behind on a number of them, so this is what I need to get back on track.
Editing is the creative priority today. I'm also going to start the process of organizing a panel of sorts for my upcoming project. I'm trying to be as on top of things as possible. It will also help me with being accountable. I need accountability. Badly.

S4: Day 106 (1202)
Apr. 16th, 2026 06:50 pmI am pushing through the day job hustle of the week. Social anxiety is VERY high at the moment, and that is making me a mental health monster. I'm okay and I'm proud of myself for understanding my limits rather than trying to plow through them in a way that would cause harm.
Creatively speaking, I'm slowly trying to line up all of my ducks. I'm getting there! Editing is going well. I'm hoping for a Fall release. In a dream world. This feels like a realistic deadline.

S4: Day 105 (1201)
Apr. 15th, 2026 07:31 amThe day job has been taking a lot of my energy. I'm feeling a lot more with it today after some solid rest both physical and mental. That being said, I'm still in the extra hours zone. I will do a little bit of editing this morning, but otherwise I'll be reading/gaming and catching up with a friend I haven't seen in far too long.
Editing projects are going great, though.

S4: Day 104 (1200)
Apr. 14th, 2026 06:27 amMy day job is taking up more of my time and energy this week. A lot of people are out sick, so I get to fill in the gaps. It's okay, but it does change how I feel physically and mentally at the end of the shift.
To compensate for this, I'm going to be shifting to editing mode for the entire week. Disappointing, as I want to get words out. I'm feeling a new sense of energy toward my books, and I want to embrace that as productively as possible.
For now, I'm going to edit. Feels like a good way to stay tuned in without over expending myself. I do have a lot of that to do as well.

S4: Day 102 (1198)
Apr. 12th, 2026 08:40 amI only ended up writing a few words yesterday. Like a sentence, and that's good forward motion for sure. I was just so tired. So. Tired. I took that as a sign, and I'm taking on today with a fresher mind.
Feeling much better and much more excited to work today.

Apr. 11th, 2026 08:39 amToday I'm going to slowly get back into the groove of things. Slowly. I'm feeling very...well...slow. I'm moving like a snail. It's fine, but it sets a tone for the day. At this point, I just want to make sure I keep going.

S4: Day 99 (1195)
Apr. 9th, 2026 07:29 amI did quite a bit of editing yesterday. My plans for the evening were cancelled and I didn't want to go home while the kids were doing their activities, so I went to the library! I worked on my creative day of rest. Nothing too taxing, though.
Today, I will hopefully be able to get all of my creative work done as well as taking care of myself and my family. I'm starting to feel imbalanced again, and that's never a good thing.

Apr. 8th, 2026 07:07 amI didn't get more done yesterday than I did on Monday, but I did get stuff done. I wrote, I did a lot of editing, and I made sure to take care of my mental health as well as physical health.
Today is my creative day of rest. Time to recharge and get back to it tomorrow.

S4: Day 97 (1193)
Apr. 7th, 2026 07:25 amI did quite a bit of writing yesterday, as well as editing. I mean, I basically did it all, and it felt really great.
Today, I am hoping to get even more stuff done from my productivity list. In theory, this should be totally doable and easy. Even if I only do a small portion of it, I'll feel quite satisfied. My list isn't as big as today because I was able to get so much done yesterday. I'm deep into celebrating this win.

S4: Day 96 (1192)
Apr. 6th, 2026 07:05 amI didn't end up doing as much as I wanted to yesterday. Most of that revolved around spending time with the family, and then being a bit tired from a late night the day before. It's okay. I did some things, and that's a great accomplishment.
Today, I am going to do my best to stay on task. I mean, that's always the goal. As long as I continue to attempt, I will make progress toward the goal. And that's the part that matters. I'm trying.
I'm practicing being kind to myself today.

S4: Day 94 (1190)
Apr. 4th, 2026 09:40 amI spent a lot of yesterday interacting with family instead of working. I have mixed feelings about this. Clearly, I was looking for some kind of distraction and it is what it is.
I will have time to write and do things today, though. There are chores as well, but I can do all of these things. I need to let my desire to create take control more so that it drives my ability forward. Because that's how I feel: the want is great, the ability is burned out.

S4: Day 92 (1188)
Apr. 2nd, 2026 07:26 amI played a lot of my game yesterday. It was great for my mental health.
Today, I am not feeling great physically, however, I'm determined to push myself a little harder to stay on task. It might mean my schedule is a bit slower and more relaxed paced for the day. Sometimes that happens. As long as I keep moving, I'll be pleased with myself. Not shutting down when I feel gross has been a big problem lately, so it's a habit I'd like to break.
Creatively I feel great. It's just getting the rest of my body on board. The days where mind and body line up with "we're feeling great" are not many these days.
